Publisher Description
Candid, moving, exhilarating, uplifting, and frequently humorous, the words Oprah shares in What I Know For Sure shimmer with the sort of truth that readers will turn to again and again.
Oprah Winfrey is a creative force, student of the human heart and soul, and champion of living the life you want. Over the years, she has made history with a legendary talk show, launched her own television network, become the USA's only African-American billionaire, and been awarded both an honorary degree by Harvard University and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. From all her experiences, she has gleaned life lessons – which, for fourteen years, she's shared in O, The Oprah Magazine's widely popular 'What I Know For Sure' column, a monthly source of inspiration and revelation.
Now, for the first time, these thoughtful gems have been revised, updated, and collected in What I Know For Sure, packed with insight and revelation from Oprah Winfrey. Organized by theme – joy, resilience, connection, gratitude, possibility, awe, clarity, and power – these essays offer a rare, powerful and intimate glimpse into the heart and mind of one of the world's most extraordinary women, while providing readers a guide to becoming their best selves.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"You lead life; it doesn't lead you" is the motivating message behind media super star Winfrey's life, career, and latest book a compilation from the past 14 years of her monthly column in O, the Oprah Magazine. Divided into topics including resilience, clarity, gratitude, and awe, each essay provides a brief encouraging and thought-provoking reading moment. Winfrey writes calmly and conversationally. Among many other topics, she addresses personal strength, spirituality, clutter, and debt. She encourages readers to accept and welcome change, to appreciate the gift of life, and to be true to one's self. She digs into painful memories to share lessons she's learned, as well as how she has moved beyond pain and regret. Those interested in her personal life will find scattered details of how she spends her days, from time with her partner or her friends to reading and exercising. Gentle and supportive, while concise and sincere, these brief observations invite readers to five minutes of quiet contemplation. Ask yourself what you know for sure, Winfrey says, and "hat you'll find along the way will be fantastic, because what you'll find will be yourself."
Customer Reviews
An inspiring read during COVID19
I seen this book recommended on a blog I was reading. When I went to download it, it was on offer for 99p!! Miracle! I’ve just finished the book and I’m actually sad it’s over. This book is such a lovely read and so inspiring. I loved every chapter! I urge anyone to read this. It’s just what I needed during this pandemic. I’ve taken a lot from this book and have also bought myself a gratitude journal like Oprah’s! It’s the positivity I/WE need in our life’s!
The new bible
Oprah! You’ve touched our lives for years. But reading this was like a pathway to heaven. Everything I guess already knew to be true, in part. But you have put it all right here. Always there now to remind me of the path and what I’m here to do. Absolutely wise beyond words. Blessings to you,O. Thank you.
